Representative Payee Services

Representative Payee Services are provided for adults for whom DSS has been appointed
to serve in this capacity. Adults served by DSS are those who cannot manage their
finances and have no appropriate person or agency to act as payee. Case management
is provided to these adults to assure the appropriate use of income to address needs
and to strengthen basic skills in money management. This is a useful service to
prevent the financial exploitation of the elderly and disabled.

The Social Security Administration appoints Representative Payees and may be reached
at 1(800)722-1213 or TTY 1(336)722-8411. Information about this program can also be
accessed through the Social Security Administration
website.
